As soon as the car stopped. I got out and stood in front of the main door to his packhouse. Even from here, I could see people nishing towards his backyard
They wore black clothes suitable for a funeral, unlike me, who looked like a blooming sunflower,
“You don’t need to worry about this. You can go to your room and rest there until I sort this out, “Maximus came to stand beside me and whispered in a low voice.
I glanced to my left, deciding to glare at the side of his face, He was always putting me in tight spots.
Now, everyone would think I was too happy over the death of my father–in–law because his son had fucked me over.
A litter taste invaded my mouth.
If this jerk was going to leave me, why did he have to turn Aiden into an even worse enemy?
Maximus flaunted his control over me in front of Aiden and then killed his father, then brought me here with him, dressed like a flower. To top this cake with a cherry, I didn’t even have my powers.
What would I do if the bigger jerk, my so–called mate, who didn’t even bother to look for me, started forcing himself on me again?
Aiden was stupid. But he was not blind.
He would know if his uncle had suddenly decided to let go of me.
And the moment he realized it, he would make my life hell.
A headache started as I closed my eyes for a moment, I was in deep shit with no escape in sight.
What could I do?
Where would I find another man from the Caine family ready to mess with Aiden?
Why would anyone do it for me anyway?
Maximus was my mate. I had leverage over him. But I didn’t have any leverage on any other man from the Caine family.
In short, I was fucked.
If I had realized this two weeks ago, I would have even felt a panic attack setting in. But now, I felt nothing but cold inside out.
Maximus. “A shrill voice broke me out of my trance.
My eyes snapped open and landed on the model like familiar girl. She was wearing a black, short dress that bounced as she ran towards the man still standing beside me.
My brows lifted. And she jumped, wrapping her arms around his neck.
A spot deep inside my chest turned colder. Instantly, I looked away and focused on the entrance.
I tried to look for more familiar faces, hoping to find Tara or Jack so I could find a quick exit.
But no matter how hard I tried, my attention was fixed on the girl wrapped around Maximus.
“Where have you been? I called you. I texted you. I came to see you but you were nowhere. Do you realize how agonizing it is for your fiance to try to reach you and get no response?” Her voice was sulky as she whined.
An invisible hand wrapped around my heart and squeezed until I couldn’t breathe. There was an itch under my skin that wanted me to pull her off him, and tell her to fuck off.
But how could P
She was not the third party.

Chapter 88
I was.
I was the mistress who slept with her fiance not once but—so many times.
“You should have stopped looking for me then. I can’t sit around and meet you whenever you are free.” Maximus replied.
*Max. I was in trouble. Dad was getting angry with me for not convincing you about the mating ceremony.” She sighed, still attached to him like she couldn’t bear to step away.
From the corner of my eyes, I saw Maximus grab her waist and push her a little back. She noticed the silent gesture, frowned, and turned her gaze towards me.
Instinctively, my cheeks heated. Could a woman tell if their man was having an affair?
Of course, they could.
I was the only blind one. Or maybe, I had known in my heart that Aiden’s reason for bringing Emily into our home was not just mere pity. But I ignored it. Because I wanted to trust him, or perhaps because I had nowhere to go.
“Why did you come with Luna Zia?” She asked Maximus after she was done staring at me.
My heart jumped in my throat.
A moment passed. Then, another. But he didn’t say anything.
* I need to change and attend the funeral. “After a long pause, he said and started walking away from me.
Sofia was still standing by my side, watching his retreating back. I sucked in a deep breath and started walking too.
I didn’t want to be alone with her. She gave me bad vibes.
* You are his nephew’s fiance. Then why are you always around Max instead of Aiden?” Her voice sounded from behind.
I halted, my breath hitching in my throat. I couldn’t even look her in the eye, how was I supposed to- – -answer her?
The silence between us stretched. It was uncomfortable and almost painful.
I wanted to dig a hole for myself and hide in there.
She walked closer and leaned in, her fruity perfume filling my senses.” I heard you were the daughter of a powerful Alpha. But you know what? That was all in the past, Zia. ”
Chills ran down my back as she touched my hair and pushed it back from my shoulder.
* Now, your dear Daddy is dead. And you are a nobody. Do you get that? Just a nobody with no real power, no true position, and no standing by the side of her own mate. And you think you can crawl your way into Max’s life? ” Her voice dropped, turning into a vicious sneer.
I clenched my hands into fists and remained silent. Of course, she could sense what was going on.
*Don’t dream about the impossible. If you dare to get close to him, I won’t even need to lift a finger against you. Max’s father will cut you into pieces and feed you to dogs himself. He won’t stand for a bitch trying to climb a rank in his family. So- – –” She pulled her hand to her side, and her voice turned lighter, almost chiming. “I suggest you stay away from him. Not because I am jealous. But because—you are nothing, Zia. And because people like you are just so easy to kill.”
She didn’t wait after she was done warning me. She moved past me and disappeared inside the packhouse while I stood there, under the bright sun, like a lifeless statue.
You are nothing. I exhaled a slow breath and looked down.
These people were beginning to get on my nerves.
Shaking my head, I walked ahead and crossed the packhouse to go into the backyard.
People would see me in a sunflower dress and think that I was happy over my father–in–law’s murder? Why did I even worry about it?
These people, with their fake smiles, and stupid attitudes could all burn in hell. They deserved it.
The moment I stepped out, all heads turned to me, and disdain filled the eyes. My lips curled into a smile.
